    We could not have had a better experience working with Carr, Daniel and BJ at Improovy. From the consultation to the finished product, they delivered exceptional service and truly went above and beyond, even delivering samples to our house over the weekend. The entire first floor, upstairs hallway and bedroom were done in 4 days and they left no trace. The customer portal was an awesome touch so we could track progress made each day via descriptions and pics. Excellent communication throughout the entire process and incredibly friendly people.

    My experience with Improovy is that they operate in the opposite of their mission to "restore trust to the trades by making the lives of homeowners and painters better". I do not trust Improovy, I do not recommend them. Improovy used a painting company, Top Painters who do not have property damage coverage through their insurance and are not in good standing with the IL Secretary of State. They damaged my newly finished flooring beyond repair in the spring of 2023 to the tune of over $30,000. They used a sharp object, likely a razor blade, removing paint on the floors near the baseboards in ~30 places and scratched deep down into the wood. The painters told me they do this routinely to scrape paint off where the tape fails but then claimed to their insurance the deep scratches were from a "floor varnish problem" and the scratches occurred from removing painters tape from them. See the pictures for yourself as they did not occur from removing painters tape. Improovy's insurance denied covering, then sent the claim to the painters insurace (who I never directly hired or paid) & found their insurance does NOT COVER PROPERTY DAMAGE even though they caused it. Improovy nor Top Painters returned correspondence to me & answer the question of if they are going to pay for these damages, and the insurance claim is now 5+ months after occurrence. Also, Improovy (as stated in other reviews) charges for more expensive paint than what they use. They initially recommended I use Duration paint in Eggshell which does not exist. When asked about why they recommended paint that doesn't exist & if I was going to be charged for the more expensive paint they did not answer. The painters were initially careful but unprofessional & sloppy in the return to my home. Initially they covered my floors/ furniture & I paid extra for complete coverage; upon return to complete work including Re-sanding, mudding, & painting they did not fully cover my floors and did not cover ANYTHING in bedroom. I was appalled to find them mudding directly over my bed that was not covered and there was paint/mud splattered on my TV, router, nightstand, bed, bedding & all over the floor. Autumn Ramsey, "field manager" returned to my home, began scraping paint off my floors with her fingernails & I had to stop her from causing more damage. Improovy offers estimates over the phone based on pictures/videos and they over-promised services they could provide. They promised ceiling seam repair which would not take, were redone several times & eventually they stated future repairs would no longer be warrantied (this made sense since they couldn't be repaired but the work should not have been promised to begin with esp considering they increased the price after taking a 2nd look at the photos). Improovy stopped contacting me however and did not request final payment. I did pay a deposit and now I additionally have over $30,000 of damage to my home since they need completely replaced and can't be repaired. Improovy states they have a warranty on their services to be performed with reasonable care and skill but that did not happen. (I emailed Eddie Alvarado a production coordinator about the warranty and their guarantee of timeliness after numerous cancellations/ delays due to miscommunications btw Eddie & Autumn, but they did not respond to those questions). The painters painted over the seal of almost all electrical outlets & HVAC filter covers & thus could not be opened without ripping the paint and drywall off wall. I don't consider this "5 star" work. They never apologized for what their painters did in my home, despite acknowledging the damage & poor workmanship. I gave them opportunities to respond before I submitted insurance or wrote any reviews of my experience but they didn't. I was exceptionally polite to all despite being furious about the experience. Don't hire a company that has a website that states they have no control of the quality of services the painters provide. When I hired Improovy I hired and paid them directly and had no info about their painters. I asked Tony - their lead painter of "Top Painters" on their first arrival date why I couldn't find them on Google & he claimed it was because the owner was a "family man" who didn't want to be on the internet. I should have canceled the job then. Even Improovys own insurance carrier told me that they had trouble obtaining their credentials and getting correspondence from them. I question how they have all these excellent reviews. If you are a homeowner, question the painters Improovy uses in your home. They are not as stated "the top 1% of painters providing the best quality work". I would think the top 1% would at least be listed on the Better Business Bureau. Choose a company who does their own work, is actually fully insured including property damage and has word-of-mouth references. This was by far the worst experience I have had in almost 15 years of homeownership.

    Chris was the main guy I talked to who coordinated the painting project, and it was smooth sailing from there.

    We had an amazing experience with Speedy Gonzalez for our bathroom remodel! From start to finish,…read morethe team was professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to listen to what we wanted and offered helpful suggestions that really elevated the final design. The quality of the work is outstanding -- the tile installation is flawless, the drywall and flooring look perfect, and everything was completed on schedule. They kept the workspace clean each day and communicated clearly throughout the entire process, which gave us total peace of mind. Our bathroom looks absolutely beautiful and feels like a brand-new space. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Speedy Gonzalez to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality remodeling work. We will definitely be using them again for future projects!

    I accidentally posted this on the wrong business. Frank and his team did work at our home back in…read moreMay of 2025. Frank was very quick to respond. They were able to replace the tile and vanity within the amount of time we requested (3 days). His estimate was very reasonable. During the process, Frank was very communicative. But the only difficulty I would say was communicating with his team, if Frank wasn't present, because of my broken Spanish. But Frank was able to resolve any issues and concerns that we had. The work that they did was great! Our bathroom is beautiful!
